Pancreatic ductal cells transport bicarbonate from blood to pancreatic juice. A study shows that pancreatic cancer retains SLC4A4-mediated bicarbonate import to fuel cancer growth via enhanced glycolysis and establish a pro-tumorigenic immune microenvironment. Targeting SLC4A4 mitigates acidosis and can be combined with checkpoint blockade.
